<img src="{{rootUrl}}global/images/person1.jpeg" style="float:left; width:200px;height:250px;padding-right :15px;padding-left: 15px;padding-bottom: 15px;"/> 

                    <p style="padding-left: 20px;"><a style="padding-left:20px;"></a> I started photography on a simple scale in secondary school:  recording events and travels, and had my initial publication successes.  During my undergraduate university years, I had many images printed in school publications.  At that time, I started my first attempts to go beyond mere documentation and to add an artistic flare to my images.

My serious introduction to fine art photography occurred in graduate school where I met my first mentor, Michael Ivanitsky, and was strongly influenced by Edward Weston.  My first nude images were shot at that time, ending up with the annual "best in the state"  award by the Photographic Society of America.

Except for the initial valuable guidance by Mr. Ivanitsky, I am basically self taught.</p>
                    <p style="padding-left: 20px;"><a style="padding-left:20px;"></a>
After graduate school, I took 30 years off from photography for an engineering career, only occasionally dabbling in art.  I tried to restart my art interests after retiring from engineering but suffered from the "I wonder if I could ever do it again" syndrome, the "again" being creating images like the ones that I was proud of from before.

 After starting slowly and receiving considerable support from art organizations and artists in San Diego, I have to devoted myself to fine art photography.  My major body of work is the black and white nudes as shown in my new book.  I have also worked in landscape, still life and portraiture.  My goal is elegance and simplicity in my images, with an emphasis form and texture using extensive shadows.

These works have been shown in many juried and solo shows.  I am represented by the Lotus Asian Art Gallery in Austin, Texas, USA.
